  I just tried to post yesterday’s blog to facebook via the link at the bottom of the post but got the capcha words again so I cancelled. I tried copy/paste od the URL directly on my timeline but still capcha. Maybe a facebook issue with WordPress?

  Facebook is saying that my blog is an “unsafe site” and might be spam. What’s up with that? Is WordPress “unsafe”?

  We’re aware of this problem and are looking into it further. I’ll post in this thread once we have more information.

  Apologies for the inconvenience!

  I am posting here the link to my original post:

  The 2 visitors who received those spam notifications accessed my blog through my FB account: https://www.facebook.com/johyunjae198059?ref=tn_tnmn

  @prissymom4jhj – There was something at Facebook causing items from WordPress.com to be marked as spam, but the problem seems to have been fixed on Facebook’s end on or around April 26th. Reading your original post, it sounds like your visitors experienced this prior to April 26th, so this issue should be resolved for you now.

  If you still have trouble, please let me know.

  helper-heroponriki, yes, I think the incidents occurred around that time.

  I have not received anymore new reports about spams from regular visitors to my blog.

  Thanks!

  This is something on Facebook’s end. You can report it as a false-positive from within the error message they provide.
